Electrical Protection Units And Systems Introduction to Electrical Protection Systems HV, MV and LV[1] electric installations and equipments are subjected to internal and external faults that can cause serious damages in persons and other equipments. To avoid and to minimize the consequences of those faults protection devices associated to equipments that are able to break electric current are required. For …

An Introduction to Insulating And Dielectric Materials Definition of Insulating and Dielectric Materials An electrical insulating material can be defined as the material that does not allow electric current to pass through it. For electrical applications a particular category of insulating materials is used to separate electrically the conducting parts of equipment from each other and from earthed and “no …

A Full Guide about Corona Effect – Corona Discharge in Transmission Lines What is Corona or Corona Discharge? When an alternating potential difference is applied across two conductors whose spacing is large as compared to their diameters, there is no apparent change in the condition of atmospheric air surrounding the wires if the applied voltage is low. However, when the …

Short Circuit Currents And Symmetrical Components (Manuel Bolotinha) Short Circuit Faults and Currents Short-circuits can occur phase-to-phase and phase-to-earth, mainly due to: Dielectric breakdown of insulating materials (ageing, severe overheating and overvoltages, mechanical stress and chemical corrosion are the main factors for dielectric breakdown) Decrease of creepage distance (the shortest path between two conductive parts – or between a conductive …

INTRODUCTION Transportation of people, goods and services today is no longer a problem as technology is fast growing. Distance is neither a barrier nor a problem. Just as people, goods and services are easily transported across a distant destination, ELECTRICITY is no different. Electricity can be transported over a long distance. But unlike goods, electricity requires a medium through which …
